Zutto's melody seems so sad-but-hopeful though and Hello new me sounds very major key, happy, etc. They both have the cutesy voice but to me that's where the similarity ends. The cutesy voice really doesn't match the sadder-sounding melody, it sounds kinda like ayu is trying to recapture an old school sound but since we KNOW what her voice sounds like now, it isn't really working lol.
That said, hey, relative minor key = my kind of song! XD I like the preview alright, I might hate the full song or I might love it, but this is the kind of moment where I kinda require context. You can't tell if a song has any dynamics from a 15 second piece of the chorus.
